If the purpose of this Self Made Men column is to put over work ethic, then we should definitely talk about Steve Harvey. Yes, there’s more to Steve Harvey than modified zoot suits and getting divorced; the guy is a born hustler (and that’s not an insult here) who has dedicated and sacrificed a lot

Trying to explain Nardwuar the Human Serviette to your average sports-watching, beer-drinking person can be difficult, especially if that person doesn’t have the tolerance for odd behavior that comes from listening to punk rock or watching public access television.

Oh man, where to begin with Sun Ra. Sun is this week’s Awesome Man Throughout History, and a man who managed to pack so much fun-to-talk-about craziness into his life that it’s hard to pick a starting point for discussion. I mean, simply referring to him as a jazz musician who claimed that he was

Melanie Lynskey currently stars in ?Seeking a Friend for the End of the World? that you can see in theaters and which I?m sure I?ll see relatively soon.

One of the interesting California dynamics is the relationship between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Most everyone I know in Los Angeles loves to go visit San Francisco and run around that great city.
